URL Organizers are required to maintain a website with information about their workshop or tutorial. The link to this website should be listed here. If possible, this link should be active at the time of submission (in this case, the website should indicate that it describes a “proposed workshop” or “proposed tutorial”).

Abstract A short paragraph that will be used to advertise your event on the ICAR 2023 website. –200 WORDS MAXIMUM
Content Describe your event in detail. Include a tentative schedule and a list of invited speakers (if any), indicating topics and if their participation is confirmed or still pending: briefly describe why contributed presentations reflect the state of the art. These are the main information which will be used to review the submission and its scientific quality. –500 WORD MAXIMUM
Plan to solicit participation Describe how you will advertise and encourage participation in your event, particularly from researchers traditionally outside of the robotics community (if applicable). Steps that go beyond an email to robotics-worldwide are encouraged. Estimate the number of participants that you expect, and provide a basis for this estimate, such as attendance at similar events in past years. If you have organized similar events in the past, list them and provide the estimated attendance at each. –500 WORDS MAXIMUM
Plan to encourage interaction among participants Describe how you will promote active discussion. Steps that result in participants staying for the entire event and that increase the level of interaction between established experts and early-career researchers are particularly welcome. –500 WORDS MAXIMUM
Dissemination Describe briefly a dissemination plan of the outcome of the workshop. Solicitation of papers is encouraged by workshop organizers. These papers cannot take the form of conference paper submissions to be associated to the workshop. While they may be reviewed by the organizers prior to acceptance, they cannot be confused with regular, peer-reviewed, papers. Workshop papers cannot be published as peer reviewed papers. Organization of special issue in Tier 1 peer reviewed journals is encouraged. Letter of support from Editors-in-Chief will be strongly considered. –500 WORDS MAXIMUM
Equipment A computer projector and screen will be provided. List all other required equipment, such as poster stands (how many), an easel and writing pad, etc.
